Well how do I start... Rob's story of his two big fish persuaded my dad and I to hit up San Pablo. Well after bout an hour messing around in one spot about 8:30 we headed across from the launch ramp. On about the 5th cast in the area with my 9 inch Slammer...WHOOSH... fish on.... HOLY CRAP it's HUGE is all I could think. After a fairly short but nerve racking fight. The fish is lipped and lifted... quite a few pictures were takin.. Then the moment of truth... 17.3 pounds on our berkley digital scale... you have no idea how bad I was shaking. 17.3 pounds is A LOT of bass. There was the choice of hauling it the short distance to the marina to have it weighed there or releasing it on the spot. I chose to release it right there and spare the fish any more trauma. I'm gonna try and get the pictures developed tonight or tomorrow and post them. This fish was absolutely HUGE...
